You cannot prove anything other than yourself exists. A hallucination can be produced by any human sense. Anything and everything you see is subjective, created by you. The only thing you can independently, objectively prove exists, is you.

How do I know what I perceive as orange is what you perceive as orange?
If we both look at an orange, we would agree that its color is orange. But what if the color I see as orange is different from the color you see as orange and we just think that everyone sees orange the same way.
Is there a way to tell if we see colors the same way?
If you could think of the color orange and directly transmit that to another person, they could compare it to their conceptualization of orange, but even then I'd think slight differences in brain function and structure could skew that. You can never be 100% certain.
We don't.
This is an interesting question, and as a guy who loves physics I have spent ages pondering it.
One or elm I had was that people think that colour's go together- eg. Blue and orange, but if we perceive them differently, then why is this?
But there is a solution, I know it, but probably won't explain it too well, but anyway-what you see as blue and orange is what I see as red and green, and vice versa.

Try a color blindness test.
Colorblind tests only determine your ability to differentiate colors from each other. They don't tell you anything meaningful about what those colors look like.
